偶然?必然! —— 評(píng)2011年12月四級(jí)寫(xiě)作
上海新東方學(xué)校國(guó)內(nèi)考試部 作文明星教師汪中平
"Nothing Succeeds without a Strong Will." 四級(jí)寫(xiě)作考題出爐了。看到考題,我們眼前又是一亮:這不是新東方四級(jí)寫(xiě)作教材必背范文第13篇The Way to Success 的翻版嗎!這已經(jīng)不是第一次了。
如果說(shuō)以前這種情況頗為“偶然”,近年這種“命中考題”的情況似乎不再鮮見(jiàn)、漸漸變成“必然”了。2003年四、六級(jí)寫(xiě)作共用的題目Honesty Is the Best Policy就是我們教材必背范文第3篇Honesty;08年6月四級(jí)考題“大學(xué)生休閑娛樂(lè)的方式”和我們必背范文第12篇Ways of Relaxing 非常相近;08年12月考題Disposable Plastic Bags 是我們考前預(yù)測(cè)的重點(diǎn);09年12月考題“創(chuàng)建綠色校園”和我們必背范文第9篇Make Our Cities Greener 非常接近,只要把city 改成campus 就可以了。
當(dāng)然,猜題押題不是我們的宗旨。我們更重視的是如何培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的寫(xiě)作能力傳授寫(xiě)作技巧。
一般來(lái)說(shuō),文章的主體段落展開(kāi)方式不外乎因果分析和舉例說(shuō)明。今年的考題與以往很多“現(xiàn)象類(lèi)”或“爭(zhēng)議類(lèi)”考題不同,要求評(píng)述一句格言,這和03年Honesty 非常相似。對(duì)這種文章,因果分析比較牽強(qiáng)。那么我們主要就依靠舉例說(shuō)明了。在我們的教材范文中就舉了兩個(gè)例子,一為孫中山依靠堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的意志創(chuàng)建中華民國(guó),二為蘇秦刺股挑燈夜讀。
其實(shí)考生只要掌握了方法,隨便舉一兩個(gè)自己生活中的例子。只要文字表達(dá)順暢,就是一篇好文章。
碰到熟悉的考題固然欣喜;碰到陌生的考題學(xué)會(huì)自如應(yīng)對(duì)才是制勝的法則。
附教材范文:
Everyone tries to achieve success in his career. However, someone firmly attains his goal while another fails. Why? The one continues his cause to the end through long periods of hard struggling, but the other is easily disappointed or stops halfway.
Strong will, perseverance and diligence are the three essentials of success. A man of strong will and perseverance always has an inflexible spirit. He sticks to his cause no matter how tough it might be. Dr. Sun Yat-sen was such a man. Many of his attempts failed, but he held to his purpose with firmness and finally succeeded in overthrowing the Qing Dynasty. Diligence means steadiness in one’s work and study. Su Qin stabbed himself in order to keep himself attentive to studies. Marx often worked 15 hours a day. Life is short and we have many things to do. Without diligence no one can achieve anything.
I believe that where there is a will there is a way, and that success belongs to those who can suffer long years of patient toil and constant efforts.
